It's funny how people are still crackin' on the topic of "didn't ask for help, rage". This guy kindly explains afterwards how he was angry at the time of posting. Look me in the eyes and tell me you can write something comprehensible, or get your point across, when angry. Most of the time I fail to write something comprehensible when I'm in a normal mood.
And I honestly don't find it THAT difficult to believe that, upon installing the HL2 mod, shit got fucked. I don't think Steam had much to do with it, but shit got fucked and this guy needs help.
If you don't have a recovery point from before installing the mod, I can only suggest you reinstall any drivers, or windows itself.

I play a little bit of piano every now and then, and obsessively play the guitar due to my fascination for blues solos. I also have a harmonica that I've been playing around with.

Ultimately, I think part of life is about using what you are good at, and enjoy doing, for the gain of others.
Of course, it is impossible to name one ultimate goal for all of mankind. To keep existing as a species for as long as possible does not suffice for me. I'd say that is rather a means to achieve another goal than a goal in itself.

A tormented soul calls from across the plains
Character: Yozo the Veteran
About: Throughout his difficult childhood, Yozo always managed to keep his spirits up during his life in Neo-Tokyo. Having a natural affinity for melee combat, he joined the most powerful army in Neo-Tokyo (led by warlord Yamazaki Ieyasu) at the age of sixteen. Being a born leader, Yozo quickly became one of the highest ranking generals in the army. He contributed a great deal to the prosperity of post-war Japan, and was honored as such.
With plenty of wealth, interstellar travel was now viable. Yamazaki was always out to gain more. Since much of the land outside of Asia had been laid waste to (most people already left, at a time when Japan was in great poverty), it was time to go out into space, and conquer land! A planet in a nearby stellar system, home to a human colony, was a good place to conquer first.
As the first Japanese Interstellar War began (in reality just Japanese Colonialism), Yozo saw that Yamazaki was an evil man. Refusing to cooperate any longer with this terrible warlord, Yozo joined the Austra-neolithians (so named because of their new farming methods that have since their invention been put to use all across the galaxy) and led them in a rebellion against the Japanese colonialists. He later realized that, however successful the rebels may be, they would lose the war; after all, if the rebels became too powerful, Japan had bombs they could drop. The rebels' disbelief in the existence of such thing as a bomb, or perhaps the inability to imagine the damage it might cause, they stayed in the area to fight the Japanese Colonialists, under leadership of Yozo's apprentice Dingo McBoomerang. Yozo fled the area, to minimize the chance from dying of the blast or radiation. Oh yeah, and this bomb? It's not a nuclear bomb. It's a whole 'nother level of technology, and the radiation does all kinds of crazy shit to you.
Yozo felt he had betrayed his folk and was tormented by guilt. He managed to avoid most of the radiation; he adapted to what little radiation did get to him. Surviving in the freezing cold, he attempted to utilize the unfamiliar sensations in his body. Becoming more aware of what he could do with these sensations, Yozo started to train. This way, he discovered he could manipulate matter. Due to his natural affinity for offensive everything, he learned to manipulate objects with his mind (flinging small objects around, etc) which he intended to use to kill Yamazaki.
There was one problem with this plan; he had no way of leaving the planet that he was on. Japan had left him alone for fifteen years under the assumption that he was dead; but when irregular radiation readings started to appear on the charts back in Japan, Yamazaki discovered that he had been wrong to assume such silly things. As Yozo still had a long ways to go before he could defeat the Japanese empire, Yamazaki came to visit. With insufficient strength to defeat Yamazaki's massive army, Yozo surrendered. He was convicted for high treason and sent off to participate in DEATHLAND.
ABILITY: TO MOVE ANY OBJECT WITH HIS MIND ALONE (RELATIVELY WEAK AND UNTRAINED). HE IS ALSO EXTREMELY TALENTED IN CLOSE COMBAT. (PSYCHICALLY AMPLIFIED CLOSE COMBAT ALLOWS FOR POWERFUL BLOWS AND MANIPULATION IN CLOSE QUARTERS)
